Mr.. l.. II. House, who has resided some
time in Japan, writes an interesting article
in the Atlantic Monthly, in which he
argues strongly for the rights of that
country to do her own thinking and to
control her own movements. He says:
In the face of all this Japanis insolently
told and the world is expected to believe,
that she cannot support her pretensions to
the control of the judiciary within her own
dominons That she is fully qualified in all
other respects for efficient and salutary self
rule no one ventures to dispute. Nor is her
| capacity to exercise legal authority over her
thirty i've millions of subjects questioned by
any living soul.
There is not country on the earth where
the courts perform their duties with greater
promptitudc or more scrupulous integrity.
Crime is rare; partly, no doubt, because of
the order-oying instincts of the race, but
also because of the tirmness and CELEBRITY
with which it is punished by the guardians of
public tranquility. The laws, however, are
moderate, and are never known to be en-
forced with undue harshness. The best
fruits of European legislation have been
grated upon the strongest foundations of
the Indigenous stock. and more compre-
hensive and well-adjusted criminal code can
not be found i'll any community. The Judges
are men of education, high social position
and unassailable probity. But this is not
enough for the fastidous anxietes of a couple
of thousand foreigners, temporarily abiding
in half dozen trading settlements. The
mere statement of their position ought To
cover it with ridicue and oprrobrium, and to
carry universal conviction that the denial of
Japan's claim for relief from the petty ped
ding caricatures of tribunals which offend
her sovereignty and cripple her progress, is a
dishonor to tin. nations which thus atiict her.

SENATOR RIDDLEBERGERS
Views on the Virginia Election. Thinks
Blaine Can Wrest the State from the
Democrats

The Senator having recently been in
Philadelphia and Washington expresses
his belief that the election cannot be in
terpreted a AN endorsement Of the Admin
i-tration. He said there are a plenty Of
Democrats in Virginia opposed to Cleye-
land. In Philadelphia he remarked:
Il think Blaine will be the Republican
nominee. There is no other Republican who
can possibly carry the country. | don't be-
Iieye that New York will be the pivotal State
There is no necessity why it should be. If it
wants to go Democratic, let it. The Repub-
licans can elect Blaine without it. Virginia,
Indiana and New Jersey will win the fight for
the Republican party with Blaine as the
standard-bearer. At the last Presidential
election Virginia went Democratic by 1000
majority. This time, if Blaine is the nOm-
nee, Virginia will give Republican majority
of 20 900"

MURAT HALsrEAD ON THE MUG

Editorial Letter from New-York, to
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

The Republican defeat in New-York settles
would do well to pay no more attention to
Mugwumpery and to enter into no entangling
alliances with alleged reform Democrats.
They repeated in voting for Nicoll the blum

Henry George.

that Is nonsense. There is nothing TO indi-

The fact that Senator Sherman has never
had the recognition in New York that his ex-
traordnary talents and services should have
commanded, is one of the discouragements.
Here, more than anywhere else, the man
who resumed should have popularity far in
exces. of all personal sentimentalism. But
the average New York Republican goes slowl y
in understanding merit beyond the mountains.
The attitude of the Mugwumps toward Mr..
Sherman is still more contemplate than that
toward Mr.. Blaine. They ayovedly make
personal warfare upon Mr.. Blaine, but they
oppose Sherman with equal meniacity. 1t

They Will Not Be Flung Overheard
From IIarper's Weekly


II is assumed that the President has thrown
them (the mugwumps) overheard, and is
now bent on strengthening his party relations.
But it should be remembered that, in the
sense intended the President could not throw
over the Independents. That there
have been regret and disappointment among
Independent voters, arising from the course
of the Executive is obvious. But it
does not show that the Independent vote will
be cast against Mr. Cleveland.
II the Weekly means the special New
York partisan. who followed it, course in
1881, there can be but one answer to it-
plaintive interrogative. shall they desert
Cleveland because of his recent remarka-

John Bright the backsliding Liberal
statesman Of England is fast losing the
respect and sympathy of the liberal men
Of the nitcd States, by his bitter attacks
on Gladstone and the struggling, suffering
people Of ireland. His recent course has
revealed to his former American friends
elements and aspects of his character that
generous and thoughtful men could wish
had never been made known to the world.
But he may wellundcrstand that his crratic
course, his endorsement Of the salisbury

danger the final triumph of the Home Rule
Of Ireland and Great Britain.
